Retiring
We earned every wrinkle
Worked every mile
To reach our golden years
The right to slow down
Deserved the privilege
To rest on our laurels
The time to look back
The right to step back
To pass the buck
Let others carry on
Making the most
Of our last lapse
Get more mileage
From whatever energy
We can scrounge

Marmite Man Found Hiding In His Jar
Sir Tom aka Marmite Man
It’s obvious you are the people’s choice
“But do not” rest on your laurels
As I too have a voice!!
I’ve noticed when addressing the people
There’s a recurring whinge of …“Deb broke the treaty”
You need to toughen up Marmite Man
Stop behaving like a precious sweetie!
You write such powerful words
Though empty words is all they are
Where were you when I challenged you?
Hiding in your Marmite jar!!...

Ban the Banter
Life as we know it
Is spiralling out of control
It’s all become so precious
What will be the end goal?
Don’t say this ,don’t say that
Offence will be taken
Please don’t mention gender
As you could be very mistaken
Life’s no longer simple
Now totally confusing
Can’t afford to rest on your laurels
Or be caught snoozing
Next ,it will be ban the banter
No more jokes to be told
So we can all become robots
Totally controlled ….....

Poetry's a Tough Business
Poetry's a tough business, you know
Each new poem reinvents the wheel
Staring at a blank page takes nerves of steel
'Rest on your laurels?' -- You'll have nothing to show
I've heard that writing poems is an escape
But why flee something easy to do
Like nuclear physics or perfecting Kung Fu
Let the scoffers try to get into 'poetry shape'
As for me, I'm off for a round of pre-poetry drills
~ So my pen is primed to deliver thrills and chills!...
